Oscars 2018 winners: Best predictions scores by our Editors and Users

Congratulations to our User Pamela Almeida for a near perfect score of 95.83% when predicting the 2018 Oscars winners on Sunday. She is actually tied with four others — Kayla Freeman, Abdulrahman Mohammed, Joshua Wye and Gautam — with that percentage but has the better point score total of 5,876 by using the 500 super bets wisely.

Almost 7,000 people worldwide predicted these Academy Awards winners in 24 categories. The ceremony was held in Hollywood and was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. Our top scorer only missed out on one category — choosing “DeKalb Elementary” over “The Silent Child” for Best Live Action Short. That means she got “The Shape of Water” for Best Picture with its director champ Guillermo del Toro and the four acting winners of Frances McDormand, Gary Oldman, Allison Janney and Sam Rockwell.

You can see how your score compares to all others in our leaderboard rankings of all contestants, which also includes links to see each participant’s predictions. To see your own scores, go to the User menu in the top right corner of every page of Gold Derby when you’re signed in to the site.

For the eight Gold Derby Editors participating, Joyce Eng, Daniel Montgomery and Paul Sheehan are best with 83.33% (20 out of 24 categories). Rob Licuria, Tom O’Neil and I are then tied with 79.17%. Marcus Dixon and Matt Noble are up next with 75.00%. See Editors’ leaderboard.
